We have some new photos for the director to share with you Rian Johnsonupcoming murder-mystery movie Glass onion: a mystery chases away. We also have some details regarding the characters that will be introduced to us in the Knives out followed up thanks to Empire.
In Glass Onion, “Detective Benoit Blanc travels to Greece to unravel the layers of a mystery involving a new cast of colorful suspects.” It has also been explained that the film will remove some of the layers on Blanc itself.
Daniel Craig returned as Benoit Blanc in the sequel, and the rest of the cast includes Dave Battista, Edward Norton, Jessica Henwick, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Janelle Monae, Madelyn ClineAnd Kate Hudson.
They play a “group of old acquaintances summoned to Greece by a rich friend for a murder and mystery game that gets a little too real.”
The first image features Leslie Odom Jr. as Lionel Toussaint, Kathryn Hahn as Claire Debella (a Connecticut governor vying for the Senate) and Kate Hudson as fashionista Birdie Jay. Odom Jr. shared some information, saying:
“I guess as complicated as these relationships are, these people have a history, so what brings them back together? I thought a lot about the original spark of what united them when they were younger. There must be something in it that is joyful. As stiff as we get to that island in Greece at the beginning of this film, that’s where we started. Love is complicated, friendships can be complicated “.
Toussaint of Odom Jr. is a scientist working for Edward Norton’s character, Miles Bron, who is a technological disruptor. He is shown in a photo with Dave Bautista, who plays YouTube star Duke Cody, who “will be attending the party with his youngest girlfriend and channel assistant Whiskey, played by Madelyn Cline.”
Speaking of Miles’ character, Johnson said, “The kind that [Miles] derives from will be instantly recognizable to many people in our era of tech billionaires.
As for some of the other characters, Jessica Henwick plays Birdie’s assistant, Peg, and Janelle Monáe, tech entrepreneur Cassandra “Andi” Brand. They can be seen in another photo as they confront Claire.
Johnson says Claire “pisses everyone off and is trying to thread the needle in many different ways, in terms of public personality and what she is willing to compromise to stay in office.”
When it comes to the layers of the story of Glass Onion, the director said, “The film itself isn’t all about the income gap, but that definitely plays a huge role in it. We are in a historical moment in which the gap seems increasingly obscene. Like a circus from which we cannot look away even if the negative effects become more and more real in all our lives ”.
I enjoyed the first film and can’t wait to see how this new yellow will turn out.
